“Music is your own experience, your thoughts, your wisdom. If you don’t live it, it won’t come out of your horn. They teach you there’s a boundary line to music. But, man, there’s no boundary line to art.” - Charlie Parker |

 Barry Harris © Andrea Canter Piano legend and NEA Jazz Master Dr. Barry Harris will appear for a week at the Village Vanguard in New York on Tuesday, July 21st through Sunday, May 26th. Harris is part of an exceptional crew of Detroit-bred jazz musicians, including Tommy Flanagan and Donald Byrd, who rose through the extraordinary arts education program in the public school system during the 1930s and 1940s. Harris' earliest musical mentor was a church piano-playing mother who exposed him to piano lessons at age four. He became seriously immersed in jazz in the mid- 1940s and fell under the spell of Thelonious Monk, Charlie Parker, and Bud Powell. As a professional, he would become a key translator of Monk's music. Dr. Harris will be joined by his long standing rhythm section of Ray Drummond on bass and Leroy Williams on drums. |

 Tammy Scheffer The Cornelia Street Café in Manhattan presents an exciting double bill as the May installment of its monthly “Voxify Vocal Series” when innovative vocalists Tammy Scheffer and Aubrey Johnson perform on Tuesday, May 14th. Voxify is hosted by New York vocalist Nicky Schrire. Scheffer and Johnson share an alma mater (New England Conservatory), record label (Greg Osby’s Inner Circle Music), and approach to music –both compose and arrange original works, lead their own bands, work with other ensembles, and share an “instrumental” approach to singing. Yet both vocalists offer significant contrasts as well. Scheffer will present her latest project, a collection of folk-inspired songs that explore the ideas of home, travels, and belonging. Johnson will perform material from her upcoming debut album, drawing heavily on her Brazilian, jazz, folk, and classical influences. Although this is their first double bill, Aubrey and Tammy have shared the stage in the past in various vocal ensembles. |
